Soursop
Soursop, found in the regions of Amazonas, San Martín, Loreto, Ucayali, and Piura at altitudes of 0 to 1,500 meters above sea level, is rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and fiber. These properties contribute to its potential benefits in cancer prevention. However, it’s important to avoid excessive consumption of the seeds, as they can be toxic in large amounts. Additionally, pregnant women should limit their intake of soursop due to the potential risks associated with alkaloids present in the fruit.
